Light

My latest novel 'The Long Runners' is a complex blend of #crime, #thriller, and dystopian themes.

In the religious light just before dawn, mysterious tranquillity, a quiet particular silence.

An archaeologist of secrets sits in imperial solitude.

At the periphery just outside the watery light lives a part of him that is a spectator to the rest.

Countless tiny deltas mark a once youthful face that now sees a deathbed army of shadows.

Old spies abandon first that which is loved the most.

Loyalty has a symbiotic relationship with betrayal.

Conspiratorial meetings.

Deliberations.

Hate and love.

Impassivity or histrionics.

Wastage.

In shared uncertain light, every saint has a past and every sinner a future.
